Tutor Collaboration

Our work with Zina

We were first introduced to Zina by the Royal School of Needlework in 2018. She was selected to receive financial support through our New Talent Programme, a fund established that same year to nurture exceptional embroidery students graduating from the RSN Future Tutors Programme.

Since then our relationship has gone from strength to strength, with Zina rising to every creative challenge we set her from kits to retreats and most recently her phenomenal Book of Tulips .

Zina's dependability as a designer and technician, not to mention her skill as an educator, make her the go to choice for so many of our projects. We look forward to presenting many more of her designs to our community in the future.
